FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS Purpose The
LINK, operates Family Resource Centers in Atascadero and San Miguel. These
centers are program designed to bring services to the community. These centers
through on-site Family Advocates work with families
on three levels; prevention, community based services and intensive
services. In addition, they conduct outreach and
provide information to the community on available resources including
specific efforts
to the Latino Community. Prevention The
prevention component is made up of existing community resources that are working
with the
community (i.e. the LINK, local agencies, P.T.A.’s, Parks &
Recreation , Y.M.C.A., etc.).
This connection between service providers and community
prevention programs will increase the clients
abilities to link with vital resources and services. Community
Services Driven
by client needs, community based
organizations and local offices of county service providers cooperate
to provide early intervention services to the community members. Together
, they develop a coordinated service delivery plan using the client’s
strengths and addressing their concerns.
The family advocate,
works
closely with the client and service providers. Most of the
services are provided
locally and complement each other to develop a healthy solution. Intensive
Services The
intensive level services are also client driven through a team approach. These
services address serious
problems posing a threat to the client or family members. These services
are frequently
mandated and designed to maintain the family and avoid
dislocation of the family, out of home
placement of a child or fragmentation of the family
